Trump told a Ford worker ‘you’re fired’ after being told a ‘pedophile protector’, but the union’s response shows it doesn’t work that way

TJ Sabula, the Ford worker who got into a shouting match with President Donald Trump in January, still has his job at the Michigan factory. He has not faced any punishment from his union. The United Auto Workers (UAW) quickly showed their support for Sabula. 

According to The Independent, UAW Vice President Laura Dickerson said at a recent political conference in Washington, D.C., “TJ, we got your back.” This shows how the union protects its members. UAW President Shawn Fain also praised the 40-year-old line worker. Fain said Sabula was a union brother who stood up for his rights. He added, “That’s a union brother who spoke up. He put his constitutional rights to work. He put his union rights to work.”
